Re: Where is the boot/config-`uname -r` file?



Thanks Bob, Andrew and Shawn for your input and suggestions.
So far, I've used all of them in some form or the other and after being able to mount what fstab showed as the "boot" partition basically is the ENTIRE 2nd Disk on which Solaris is installed. So when I do a
 
 mount -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=sun /dev/sdb1 /boot
 
I end up with the entire disk mounted on /boot but I still can't find Silo or any other bootloader related files. I think I will take Bob's suggestion and throw it down in the debian-sparc mailing list as clearly the issue going on here is the fact that I have done a dual-boot install of some form (I say some form, because during boot-up I don't see the option to pick one of the other OS's although I'm sure, just like grub, Silo allows config to present a menu). I really didn't do my homework on this :(
 
I do know that Solaris has a different partition for /boot but I can't see that when I look at the partitions on that disk using fdisk /dev/sdb so I don't know how to mount it. I tried mounting /sdb1 and /sdb3 but I see all these other partitions but can't find the /boot.
 
Will post back when I have figured out where these files are.
 
However, does anyone know if I can actually get Bonding to work without needing to modify or touch the /boot/config-`uname -r` file with the default configuration and it being hidden/inaccessible at the moment?
 
Thanks so much for ALL the help for all. This user-group is really awesome seeing the response times :)
 
Cheers,
\RR

just fyi, this is the type of thing you should see. this is from a debian stable vm install of a dev box - nothing but tz and root pass were changed from default on install iirc. there is no reason you shouldn't see roughly the same thing (on a default install) unless something isn't right.:
